My Meet & Greet & Autograph Experiences
I'm including this section for fun as well, (heck I created the whole website for fun), I thought it would be neat to include a section to tell about some of my experiences meeting NFL players and some other famous characters. While all of them were cool and I was very appreciative of all the players and / or fans of the game, a couple of the experiences really stood out.
Me and 2 members of the Hogettes
Fed-Ex Field in 2003 against the Philadelphia Eagles
My wife and I attended a game at FedExField stadium back in 2003. I've always wanted to attend each and every major sports venue. This was our 1st game at FedExField and while we were there I wanted to get a picture with the infamous "Hogettes". They were awesome, very friendly and accommodating to me and my wife's desire to get a picture with them. To read more about the "Hogettes" read their Wiki page at Hogettes - Wikipedia.
Me, my wife Maria and my son Tyler with the Minnesota Blues Brothers fan
Minnesota Vikings Training Camp at Minnesota State University in 2014
I finally got to attend a Vikings training camp. We went up to Minnesota in the summer of 2014 and got to see a few defensive practices. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to get any autographs, but we did get the opportunity to get a picture with one of the Minnesota Blues Brothers. That was an unexpected gift.
Me, my boys, Arthur Brown and Arthur Brown Jr.
Future Elite Linebackers Camp in 2013
I found out about the "Future Elite Linebackers" Camp when I worked with Arthur Brown in 2012 and 2013. Arthur invited me to his son's football camp. I had no idea that Arthur's sons played football or were draft worthy. He never mentioned it. But it was a blast seeing my boys at the camp. There were also a couple other Kansas State players there too. The most notable being, LB, Emmanuel Lamur. A OLB on the Cincinnati Bengals roster at the time. Anyway, I had my boys stand in line to get an autograph from Junior, but when it came time for a picture, I told Senior that we also needed to get into the picture.
Me and San Francisco 49ers WR, Dwight Clark
Yahoo Draft at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas in 2015
Our Fantasy Football League members are spread out throughout the U.S. We have team owners in 5 different states, (Kansas, Texas, Virginia, Washington State and Alaska), so one thing that we always tried to do was get together once a year and do our draft in person. In 2015 we got a chance to do that and the location was once again in Las Vegas. My wife, somehow got into the Yahoo Draft at the Hard Rock Hotel. We got to meet a few players that weekend. Dwight Clark was one of the attendees.
Me, my wife Maria, Ken Herrig, Tom Backus and Buffalo Bills QB, Jim Kelly

Jim Kelly was another one of the attendees. He was such a class act!! A lot of fun!!
Me, my son Cameron, my wife Maria and Jets WR Justin McCareins
At an undisclosed location on Long Island in 2004
While my wife and I were working up on Long Island back in 2004, we found out that several Jets players were doing autograph sessions. One such player was Justin McCareins. The location was kinda off the wall, but there was no line. Win-Win.
Me, my son Cameron, Jets FS Jon McGraw and Jets LS James Dearth
At an undisclosed location on Long Island in 2004
While my wife and I were working up on Long Island back in 2004, we found out that several Jets players were doing autograph sessions. This location had 2 players, Jon McGraw and James Dearth. If the first location was off the wall, (and it was), this one was out there. It was in the back room of a gym equipment storge faculity. Again, no line, (probably because no one could find it). Awesome!!
